Pros

It’s still a job for those of us lucky enough to have one.

Cons

I can’t sit by anymore. This company is full of the most self inflated, self promoting, tone deaf people in the entire universe. Shortly after laying off employees with high tenure who drove the culture, they promote senior executives. This alone would be enough to leave a sour taste in the mouths of the rest of us, but we didn’t stop there. Not only did they do it less than a week after the layoffs, they are promoting it all over social channels. Touting these executives who now have EVP titles. Soon this company will have more EVPs than Employees. The culture is rotten. The pressure is maddening. The two faced lies are adding up.

Pros

The talent at LPL is real. There are genuinely smart, dedicated, hardworking people across the organization who care deeply about the work and each other. That part is worth acknowledging.

Cons

Leadership culture in certain organizations has become toxic and demoralizing. Employees are living in fear, empowerment is a buzzword thrown around in town halls but nowhere to be found in practice, and morale is at an all-time low. Constant layoffs have created an atmosphere of anxiety and instability that makes it nearly impossible to do your best work. The gap between what leadership says and what employees actually experience is significant and growing.
